With the stories about data from period tracking apps being shared with law enforcement, I was wondering if there was a self hosted alternative I could host for my daughter. My searches so far have not returned any good results. Thanks!
Drip is one of the better options if you want to just download something from your app store of choice. It’s FOSS, requires minimal permissions, and seems to store all data locally.
Use the one built into iPhones and either encrypt iCloud so Apple cannot read it ( but no way to recover if you forget password) or turn off iCloud sync for health data (you will lose history with new phone).
Or, print out a one page annual calendar and use a pencil.
I’ve heard log28 is a good simple app with a local database and without tracking. I haven’t looked at it too closely to verify much. But seems like it hasn’t had an update for a while.

If for some reason self hosting doesn’t work out, try looking into Proton Calendar. Secured, encrypted, and Swiss. They do not entertain subpoenas.
I’m looking for a good option too. Hopefully someone chimes in with something!

Drip is a good option. Funded by Mozilla and German Govt
Why do you even need an app? A paper calendar should suffice. Seriously, what function does an app do?
Aside from what the other commenter said, this is something I’m looking for for my daughter and believe it or not she prefers an app.
Also, this is the self hosted community. People self host all kinds of stupid shit. Why are you here?
